Businesses invest money and time on outside market research firms that bring together focus groups for product testing. The resulting feedback from a very small sample of prospective customers is frequently incorporated across business operations from product development to messaging and go-to-market strategy, indiscriminately.

In the end, the marketing team has blown a hole in their budget and makes major bets based on third-party recommendations.
